Realize this, I fish the tide, not the time of day. I go a little before slack low and fish a rising tide with bait on the bottom. I've caught some pretty nice ones at 1:00 in the afternoon on bright sunny days with lots of boat traffic.
I use eels at night (as well as bait) and jigs and poppers in the morning. Remember, the "cycle" and the best fishing is usually a pre low slack to rising early in the morning on the canal.
I can't cast as well as I could 20 years ago, the old back just isn't up to it any more. Thats why I fish bait alot. But, if I think I can catch a few casting, I'll still give it a shot. Plus, bait catches any time of day or night (depending on the tide).
